This weekend, AC Milan and Udinese go head-to-head in a crucial Serie A match at the San Siro stadium. Both teams have been showing some impressive form, but they also have their challenges. AC Milan, currently in sixth place, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Fiorentina in their last game and need to bounce back. On the other hand, Udinese, in fifth place, won their last game against Lecce with a narrow 1-0 scoreline and are looking confident.
Historically, AC Milan have a slight edge over Udinese, having won 26 out of the last 54 matches between the two teams, while Udinese have won 17. In their recent encounters, both teams have shared victories, with the last match seeing AC Milan win 3-2 at Udinese’s home ground.
AC Milan’s star players, Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao, are expected to make a significant impact in this game. Pulisic, who scored the only goal for AC Milan in their last match against Fiorentina, is tipped to score again. Despite Udinese’s strong performance this season, AC Milan are favored to win, with betting odds suggesting a 71% chance of victory.
Udinese, however, have shown resilience and could keep the scoreline close. They have won with a handicap of +1.5 in 15 of their last 16 Serie A games, making them an attractive bet for those looking for an underdog wager.
The match is expected to be high-scoring, with predictions suggesting over 2.5 goals and both teams to score. AC Milan’s defensive issues, coupled with their attacking style under coach Paulo Fonseca, could lead to several scoring opportunities for both sides.
